Brush assembly for cleaning motorcycle chain
A brush assembly includes a base and a cover which is mounted on the base. A plurality of first brushes are removably received in the base and a plurality of second brushes are connected to an under side of the cover. An extension pipe is connected to the underside of the cover and a plurality of outlet tubes extend from the extension pipe. An inlet pipe is connected to the cover and communicates with the extension pipe so as to intrusion detergent into the extension pipe and spread from the outlet pipes to which the second brushes are connected.
The present invention relates to a brush assembly, and more particularly, to a brush assembly for cleaning motorcycle chain.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONA conventional brush assembly 1 for cleaning motorcycle chain is shown in
The present invention intends to provide a brush assembly for cleaning motorcycle chain and the detergent can be evenly spread on the chain and the brushes can be easily replaced.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONThe present invention relates to a brush assembly that comprises a case comprising a base and a cover which is pivotably connected to one side of the base and mounted on the base. A hook is connected on the cover and a protrusion extends from a side of the base. The hook is removably hooked to the protrusion to position the cover on the base. A brush unit includes a plurality of first brushes removably received in the base and a plurality of second brushes are connected to an under side of the cover. The motorcycle chain extends through the base and detergent is supplied via the cover so that the motorcycle chain is evenly spread with the detergent and cleaned by the brushes.
The present invention will become more obvious from the following description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings which show, for purposes of illustration only, a preferred embodiment in accordance with the present invention.
Referring to
A brush unit 4 includes a plurality of first brushes 41 removably received in the base 31 and a plurality of second brushes 42 connected to an under side of the cover 32. A plurality of rails 315 are connected to an inside of the base 31 and each rail 315 includes a groove. Each of the first brushes 41 includes flanges 411 extending from two ends thereof and the flanges 411 are slidably engaged with the grooves of the rails 315. The arrangement allows the first brushes 41 to be replaced.
An extension pipe 323 is connected to the underside of the cover 32 and a plurality of outlet tubes 324 extend from the extension pipe 323. An inlet pipe 322 is connected to the cover 32 and communicates with the extension pipe 323. Detergent is supplied via the inlet pipe 322 and spread from the outlet tubes 324. The second brushes 42 each have a through hole 421 with which the outlet tube 324 is engaged.
As shown in
While we have shown and described the embodiment in accordance with the present invention, it should be clear to those skilled in the art that further embodiments may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.
